    • pregnancy and homeopathy



    Keep in mind that you may not have all the symptoms that go with a particular remedy - just take the one that matches the best or comes the closest. Use a 30C potency, take one dose - 1 to 5 pellets, but usually 3 - under the tongue and wait. The right remedy should have some effect within half an hour. Another method: put the remedy in water and stir vigorously before each additional sip, which you should take only if there is a relapse or a failure to make progress on the single dose.

    NOTE on pregnancy and homeopathy: In homeopathy, one dose is whatever remedies you take at ONE TIME. And 2 pellets of one remedy - for example a 30c, DO NOT add up to a 60c. A potency remains the same!

    Homeopathy and Pregnancy: Constipation

    Constipation is common in pregnancy as the hormones, which prepare the muscles of your pelvis for labor, can slow the digestive processes down. Adjusting your diet can often help mild constipation. Increase your intake of fluids - especially water - fruit and vegetables. Go easy on wheat products - as the gluten can have a clogging effect - and avoid iron tablets unless prescribed by your birth attendant. To read more about pregnancy and constipation Click Here.
